The article was created yesterday, so is new enough. It is much more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations. AGF on proper paraphrasing of the offline sources was used. Both hooks are interesting and cited in-line, with the first one being better I think (though perhaps need some commas?). The only thing holding up this review, Alessandro57, is that the QPQ hasn't been done yet. Silver seren^C 21:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I see that you're still editing, Alessandro57. Were you planning on doing a QPQ review or is this nomination abandoned? Silver seren^C 23:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC) reply

No worries, of course I am planning a QPQ. I am still recovering from last month's two QPQ per hook ... ;-) Cheers, Alex2006 ( talk) 03:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Review done, Silver seren. Alex2006 ( talk) 05:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 19:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Alessandro57 and Silver seren: There are an awful lot of single sentence paragraphs, which should be avoided per WP:PARAGRAPH - granted 'presentable' is nebulous to the point of otiosity but I think some of these can be knocked together.-- Laun chba ller 21:58, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Silver seren and Launchballer: You were right, done! Alex2006 ( talk) 08:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC) reply

My objection has been resolved.-- Laun chba ller 09:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC) reply
